I passed step one, yet on step 2, I get told to make sure mStatus is set using the result variable - is there some error in the code checker here?
@Override protected void onPostExecute(String result) { String mStatus = result; updateStatusLabel(); }

//below is the correct way to reference the mStatus member variable
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result)
{
//since it was already declared above, just use its name
mStatus = result;
updateStatusLabel();
}
whereas before you had
//this is incorrect
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result)
{
//you redeclared it here, dont do that
String mStatus = result;
updateStatusLabel();
}

Courses Plus Student 1,941 PointsGood point, thanks again, although I am still intrigued how I passed Step 1 of the challenge, the error in re-declaring mStatus happened at that step and yet I could get to step 2. But anyway, that's a side issue I guess, I can carry on for now. Best regards
